officlated as secretary The following dele
gates to the Prohibition convention to- be held

Chick, Hiram W. Allen. Rev. A. Campbell,
w. Houliston, a. ID. Eads and j. 7. James.
DR.. Milestone was Endorsed as candidate for
alderman.
An effort is being made in certain quarters
and in certain interests to induce the Demo
Gratis to refrain from making nominations for
judges of the municipal court at the coming
convention. 1t is useless, however, as the
rank and file of the people are determined TO
test the constitutionality of the law extending
the terms OF the present Judges.

HEARTLEss CRUELTY

1t is to delude poor suffer into the belief
that some worthless iiniments will cure
rheumatism and neuralgia, Honesty is the
hest policy in the manufacture of proprie-
tary articles, as in all other matters. and
the fact that the prOprietors of Athlophoros
have never claimed for it even all It's merit
would warrant has not little to do with
its wonderful popularity, and the thousands
OF grateful testimonials received by them
show that their policy has been wise as well
as right.
Experience has amply demonstrated that
mere outward applications are worthless.
The disease has its seat in the blood, and
any remedy to be successful must deal with
the obstructive acid which pois0ns and IN
flames it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
and joints directly. 1t takes the poison out
of the blood and carries it out of the system;
it invigorates the action of the muscles and
limbers the stiffness of the joints. Itreaches
the liver and kidneys. cleansing them from
irritating circumstances, and if followed
up after the rheumatic conditions cease, it
will restore these organs to regularity and
health.
Dr.. W. d. Bryant, GAINESVILLE, Mo-, says:
81 bought q bottle OF Athlophoros for a
lady. She had not taken all the bottle be-
fore she was so far restored as to resume
her household duties. She had been con-
fined to her bed for three weeks, unable to
turn herself. The disease was infamma-
tory rheumatism. She has not had recur-
renee of it since. Athlophoros is all that
is claimed for it,"
E. Moore. Stah!, Mo-, says: -Four
bottles of Athlophoros cured me of rheu-
matism two years ago. and have not felt
a pain or ache since"
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlopho-
ros company, 112 Wall street. New York.

A communication from the indianapolis
Art association was read to the directors OF
the Exposition yesterday. requesting the
loan of Hart's Dairy Farm" OF one or
two Bierstadts for their forthcoming ex-

mendation of the committee on the ap-
pointment Of Olaf Ellison to make three
months journey to Sweden, Norway and

each country, was adopted. 1t is hoped
thus to secure first class representation

tee was not prepared to report that
evening and an informal discussion of the

The committee was given week more to
consider the question. w. K. Hicks called
the attention of the association to Prof.

The Eleventh ward Prohibition caucus
met at the Franklin avenue laundry yester-
day evening. About thirty voters were
present. E. W. Stevens was made chair
man and NJ. c. Ellsworth secretary. j. NJ.
Underwood moved to nominate one candi-
date for alderman, and leave one to be nOm-
mated by the Republicans, the Prohibition
lists to support both. The fusion spirit
seemed to be confined to Mr.. Under
wood. as his motion was lost.
The gentleman was disgusted with the
action of the caucus, and said if that was
the kind of men they were he did not want
to have anything more to do with them.
and he forthwith drew from the Prohibition
party and likewise from the caucus. Re-
lieved from this incumbus the caucus, by
unanimous vote, nominated G. r. Fix and
a. II. Drake for aldermen. NJ. G. Tites-
worth, A. B. Wood, II. p. Lupton. j. r.

Republican Tactics for Dividing

Republican Tactics for Dividing
the Strength Of the Democrats.
A most important factor in politics this
spring is the effort to induce the, working
EIen to put a ticket in the field for the pur-
pose of dividing the strength
Of the Democrats The Repub-
licans then calculate upon electing
their candidates, and will thus carry out the
scheme to defeat the wishes of the majority
OF voters, of which the redstricting of the
city was part. The Union Labor
party" lately organized seems to be COM
mltting itself to this purpose if to no other,
and the yehemence with which the work
ingmen are being
URGED TO SUPPORT
it by certain Republicans is certainly very
suspicious. There is no doubt as TO the
willingness Of the Democrats to place men
in the field who will stand pledged to carry
out the wishes of the workingmen in the
council, but this has not been asked. There
have been only in few isolated cases even
mention of candidates who would be true
representatives OF the interests of the work
ingmen. For that matter, there has
been no mention of what the
interests to be protected are, outside
of general platitudes contained in plat
form which is not especially applicable to
local political politics. Another pertinent
point is that the movers in the new party
movement are almost without exception dis
appointed officeseekers or Republican
henchmen. One of these possible eXcep-
tions, Clarence Mohier, was seen yesterday.
He is young man, former Republican,
and has not mixed in politics to great eX-
tent. He said: IF the Democratic party
is the friend of the workingmen, why does
it not
